I was there but it was still a hoot to listen to it again and hear all the compliments your committee received! I love that your Award choice has people discussing and debating children's literature to a greater degree. Fantastic!

Oh, that was a lot of fun--if only we could have heard "the phone calls." It's hard to explain to people how much fun it is to see and hear the books titles revealed one at a time. Book geek that I am, it was a teary moment.
